Selfish

Walking through the shadows, my clothes tattered and worn

Lost in the echo of a life I've forlorn

The town of Self, so tempting, glittering with its lights

Dark alleys whisper secrets, seductive in the night

Pull up from the darkness, break free from the lie

There's a greater light waiting beyond the sky

Find the one who can heal the scarred soul

Escape the trap and finally be whole

Self's tricks can't hold me anymore

I'm searching for that open door

Trapped in my reflection, illusions I can't see

Broken chains of my own making, yearning to be free

Self's embrace is cold now, but I hear a distant call

A voice whispering softly, telling me to stand tall

Pull up from the darkness, break free from the lie

There's a greater light waiting beyond the sky

Find the one who can heal the scarred soul

Escape the trap and finally be whole

Self's tricks can't hold me anymore

I'm searching for that open door

Step out from the shadows, breathe in the dawn

The journey is long but I’ll carry on

Remember who I am beneath it all

Standing strong, I will not fall

Farewell to the shadows, goodbye to the night

Hello to the morning, bathed in pure light
